Doctor Mike Hyman is the founder and Senior Advisor of
the Cleveland Clinics Center for the Functional Medicine and founder
of the and director of the Ultra Wellness Center, and
host of the leading health podcast The Doctor's Pharmacy. Also
a best selling author of numerous best selling cookbooks, the
latest of which is called The Young Forever Cookbook more
than one hundred delicious recipes for living your longest, healthiest life.
(00:34):
Welcome doctor, Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's so good to be here with you. So living ola.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Living young Forever. What's the key to it? Other than
eating your recipes?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, that's a great question. I think most mistink that
aging is something that's inevitable, that we have to get defrailed,
decrepit and decline in our function. But we don't if
we know how our bodies work. So Young Forever in
the Companion Cookbook is really a roadmap for you for
how your body works and how to turn on the
longevity switches through the right food, through exercise, through the
right nutritional supplements and sleep app activation and many other
(01:10):
amazing tools we've learned about how to activate our bodies
longevity switches, and food is the biggest switch. If we
regulate our biology through food, and it's not just calories,
it's information, it's basically instructions or code that can upgrade
your biology with every bite, we can live a long,
healthy life. It's not just to live longer, it's to
live healthy. I mean, who wants to be fraily? To crapit,
(01:30):
most people live twenty percent of their life in poor health.
You don't want that. You want your health spam, which
is how long you're healthy, equal your life span, which
is how long your life. So Boom lives to one hundred.
Go for a nice hike, make love with your wife,
have a nice loss of wine, and then drop dead
in bed.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
But I do love your attitude that it's not about
denial and it's not about self denial and self. It's
not like it requires a whole hell of a lot
of discipline.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Opposite, just the opposite.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Tell let's go over some of the recipes and the
Young Forever cookbook that you deal with roasted pepper and
zucchini for tata.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, the fritata is great because it's something I love
to make. And you don't actually have to follow the
recipe because you can, and we'll just give you instructions
about how to make something simple. But actually I love
forritata because you can take all the leftover stuff in
your fridge, like onions, gar like you stir fry them
up with a little olive oil, chopped up whatever vegetables
you have, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, whatever is in there, greens,
(02:33):
and then you just weep up the eggs, pour it
over the top, you throw it in a pan that's
good in the oven, like a cast iron pan. You
pop it in the oven and it's delicious. This actual
recipe has a lot of good things in it like
spices like clothes, and has red pepper, spinach, obviously, eggs,
and also some fresh herbs pepper in your cheese, which
is some sheep, and it's just a yummy and simple breakfast.
(02:56):
I love these because you can break it for your
family friends that they come over for a brunch, and
it's it's something that you know, you think that's a
fancy dish from a fancy restaurant, but it's just so
yummy and easy to make.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Well That's the thing about a lot of these right.
I'm finding the more that I study different types of food,
whether that be Italian or or even British or even
the Oriental, it's it's it's they're doing the same things
we want to do now in this in this day
and age. Is you want to make the most of
what you got in front of you.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
You bet? Yeah, you bet?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Uh, doctor Marcus, such a it's such a go ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
No, just it's such an important thing to realize that
people need to take back their kitchens. You know, they've
been hijacked by the American food industry and we're used
seeing processed food. And this is really all about learning
how these food is medicine, upgrade your biology so you
can feel good and and live a long healthy life
and and and avoid a lot of the medications and
complications that are really caused by our ultra process diet.
And this is just an attempt to give you yummy
(03:58):
and delicious, easy to make recipes and guide you how
to activate your lung heavy switches.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh you're playing my song, doctor. That's one of the
things I've worked on over the past ten or fifteen
years is better ways to preserve some of the things
that I do make so that I can get another
meal out of them. Better ways to preserve the ingredients
that I want to make. Some of the best things
that I want to be the freeze ability or vacuum
seal ability of certain foods so that when I do
(04:23):
get home at the end of the day, I can
throw together something that isn't processed.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Exactly exactly. And it's just about a little skills, and
we don't learn those skills home mech is Gone with
Betty Crocker was an invention of the food in the
tree to get processed food into your home recipes like
Campbell's cream and mushroom soup in this cast role or
rich crackers on that you know whatever. Oh God, that's
a fake person, and I thought it was a real person.
(04:50):
But we need to take back our kitchens because we
need to eat real food from real ingredients and learn
how to cook simply and easily, and it doesn't take time.
I made last night, for example, I worked all day
six I made dinner in like fifteen minutes. I put
some fresh wild salmon in the oven. I made some
broccoli steamed, it made some lemon olive old dressing, A
nice simple salad took a whole thing, took about fifteen
(05:10):
minutes to put together, and you don't have to make
it complicated and just made simple, real ingredients, and it
will help you stay feeling good and actually enjoying your life,
which is not what most people get when they get older.
They get all kinds of chronic illness and spend more
times in doctor's visits than they do doing what they
love to do.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
A lovely wife and I got into a I won't
call it an argument, but a disagreement over food.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
One.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They say, why can't you make a nice castle like
our grandmother, my grandmother used to make? Can? I say,
because your grandmother used to make this broccoli, rice and
cheese casserole, I'd rather have the broccoli by itself, the
rice by itself, cut back on the cheese, and instead
of the cream of mushroom, I'd rather just have the
sauteed mushroom. There. You got it all right there on
a plate, and they all bring that enough flavor to
(05:55):
the party. Yeah, Doctor Mark Hyman Young Forever Cookbook, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm sorry, no, I just add you think it was
such an important moment in America, we were seeing a
health crisis, and you know, some people trying to talk
about it. I think Trump and Robert Kennedy talked about
in their campaigns, but most people are not talking about
the chronic, the disease epidemic that's costing us over you know,
four trillion dollars a year, that's leading to so much
(06:21):
suffering that's really fixable by food and and people need
to understand how much power they have in their in
their kitchen to transform their lives.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, I've had, but I bet I can count
on no, Actually I can't. It takes two hands to
count the amount of people that I know in my
life that I've lost because they didn't take care of themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Exactly, I mean exactly. It's it's it's it's something that
we don't learn. Most of us are not given a
codebook or a manual for our bodies. And this is
what I've written is essentially, here's an instructure manual, here's
how it works. You know, most people know better how
our iPhones work than our bodies work. And that needs
to change if you want to actually feel good and
(07:04):
enjoy your life, because that's what it's all about. Right,
then you need to learn how your body works. And
you know, if you have a dog, you're not going
to feed it French fries and McDonald's and give it
give it a big Coca Cola for breakfast. I mean,
we feed our bodies and it's insane. We wouldn't feed
our dogs what we feed to our kids.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And you can read more about these great recipes and
the Young Forever Cookbook a definitive guide to understanding how
food can help keep the body and sould young forever.
I'm noticing a distinguishing characteristic as well in corporation of
lots of greate fruits and vegetables in your recipes.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah. Well, you know what, in the plant world, there's
all these amazing medicines who call these phytochemicals, and the
Rock Foundation is spending two million dollars to catalog their
medicinal properties. And you don't have to think of them
as as tasting bad medicine. This is tasting good medicine.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And the chemicals in the food, the phytochemicals, regulate all
these longevity pathways. So when you eat foods that support
your biology, you end up having this incredible benefit of
who that tastes good and woo that you love and
the food it loves you.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
